As Dale said, this can have undesired results if used in the wrong situation. However in my case, and not everyone is the same in this regard. But I only use that method on my development server, and prefer to have a temp file that is deleted when it is executed to restart the application when changes have been made to the Application.cfc which is very rare for my current clients work.

Beats restarting CF. Mind you be careful as to what url you need to pass the application to cause a restart, obviously if this got in the wrong hands. You can have a totally separate page if you wish, that takes some type of password. http://www.site.com/appRestart.cfm This could ask for a password and restart the app by calling the Application methods Andrew used. This way the method of restarting your app doesn't end up in browser caches etc, at least not the password bit.

Maybe I should do it as Andrew suggested. Thanks everyone. On 07/06/07, Dale Fraser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Are you sure it got created. Possibly added the OnApplicationStart code after the app was already started. Dump the Application scope and see of the surveyDAO exists in it.
